The new versions of One Piece: Unlimited World Red came out in Japan last week. In case you missed the Media Create charts, here’s a look at how they performed:

One Piece Unlimited World: Red (PS3) – 18,026
One Piece Unlimited World: Red (PSV) – 10,348
One Piece Unlimited World: Red (Wii U) – 4,209

One Piece: Unlimited World Red originally arrived in Japan on 3DS last year and sold 84,000 units in its first week. This version actually saw a small boost according to Media Create, which could be at least partially attributed to the fact that it received the new content as free DLC the same week. In total, One Piece: Unlimited World Red’s sales on 3DS stand at 248,000 units.

Mario Kart 8 is off to a solid start in Japan. Nintendo’s racer sold 326,000 copies in its first week, with a 80.9 percent sell-through rate. While this is a bit less than Mario Kart 7 (420,000 units), sales tracker Media Create mentions that this could be due to the timing of release and the number of hardware units sold prior.

Mario Kart 8 experienced the best opening week of any Wii U game in Japan thus far by a significant margin. It surpassed New Super Mario Bros. U, which sold 164,000 units in its first week.

With Mario Kart 8’s launch, the Wii U sold about 20,000 units. That’s quite a bit more than the 9,000 units it sold the week prior, though it’s not the massive boost that some may have hoped for. Still, Mario Kart 8’s launch week was the first time Wii U was in the top spot since the console released with major titles. Media Create mentions that although Nintendo tends to release good titles throughout the year, new users might not be drawn to the Wii U until after summer vacation.
